BIO
Shashank is a PhD student trying to better understand climate change around its multiplicity of meanings and changes, (i.e. to see climate change reflexively in the process of production of knowledge around climate change as its impacts intensify). Given the multiple modalities of agroecology, he finds agroecology as a helpful lens to view climate change in its changes. Born and raised in Southeastern Nepal, Shashank has worked in a wide variety of roles, including teaching fourth graders and helping organize cross-country races.
Shashank wants to engage with ecological economics as a wide array of tools and principles in policy thinking that strive to listen more than they try to tell. With a geographical focus on South Asia, he is interested in studying the margins and intersections of ecology, economics, (prefigurative) politics, and society to co-imagine more participatory policy practices.
Shashank has worked in a wide variety of roles, albeit briefly in each. His eclectic experiences have continued to reinforce his desire, which he thinks most people share, of not having the need to do anything but having the choice to do many.
